Effects Everybody.

The Helena Independant speaking
of the working of the Interstate
commerce law On traffic, has the fol-
lowing item in regard to the effect
upon theatrical people, who have al
ways heretofore enjoyed the benefits
Of reduced rates In travelling: "The
theatrical people are now making
themselves heard, owing to the pas
sage of the Interstate commerce act.
Under Its provisions they find that
railroad companies can no longer
make special reductions to the com
binations or issue passes to the man
ayers, and will In the future Oblige
them to pay local rates. This, of
course, would greatly enlarge their
expense account, and to the smaller
organizations it would necessitate
their withd ra wal from the boards.
1t would also have the effect Of thinn-
ing out the sccoEd class combinations
at present so numerous. A number
of managers do not take the matter
in this light, but say that the rail.
roads will pay no attention to the
bill, and they will thus be able to
continue their organizations which
they could not do II the bill was
carried out To the lotter, as stated
above"
